Show moreAt the age of 10, Kor was sent to the Nazi’s Auschwitz concentration camp where her parents and two older sisters were killed. Eva and her twin sister Miriam became part of a group of about 3,000 children who were abused in horrific genetic experiments under the direction of Dr. Josef Mengele. They were among the roughly 200 children found alive when the Soviet Army liberated the camp in 1945, most of whom had also been Mengele twins. Nearly four decades later, Eva Kor founded CANDLES (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors) and with Miriam’s help, reconnected 122 other Mengele twin survivors around the world. In 1995, Kor founded the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Terre Haute, Indiana. That year she also wrote and published her account of survival in the book, “Echoes from Auschwitz: Dr. Mengele's Twins: The Story of Eva & Miriam Mozes.”

Show moreGrace Chicken wanted to see the world. As a young woman, her ambition was to be a nurse in the war, so she joined the Red Cross and was stationed in Joplin, Missouri. When she heard that the Air Force was looking for nurses, she enlisted to train as an Army Air Force Specialized Flight Nurse, and was sent to Bowman Field Kentucky. Her first posting was to Newfoundland, Canada, and from there she went on to be stationed in the Azores, a country that was neutral during WWII. Injured US military personnel were flown to the Azores from other arenas, such as Europe, Asia and Africa. From the Azores, the Aerovac teams would fly the patients back to the United States for treatment. After VE Day, Chicken was sent to Hawaii and from there they flew to all the small Pacific Islands picking up wounded Americans along the way. She was on the second US plane to arrive in Japan after the surrender. After the war, Chicken went back to school on the GI Bill and then enlisted to serve in Korea.
